A University of Exeter student is currently in search of music festival volunteers for ESRC funded PhD research.
There is little research into the multi-million pound festival sector, and this PhD study aims to change to that. The South West has a reputation for holding excellent and varied music festivals, each of which contributes to the local economy and tourist trade. University of Exeter student Dee Clayton, is aiming to understand the contribution of volunteers and create a picture of how festivals can use volunteers more effectively.
The University of Exeter is delighted to announce a free festival of arts, music, food and sports at their Forum Piazzas on the Streatham Campus in Exeter.
The festival will include a range of activities and performance for all the family. There will be student acts such as the Soul Choir and the acclaimed A Capella group semi Toned. There will also be professional acts such as the much loved and award-winning street clowning troupe Le Navet Bete.
Professional music also includes acts such as Sheelanagig, The Carrivick Sisters and Exeter favourites Count to Fire.
